Gloves | 11,777 Administrator · Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 The clubs issue should be fixed now. I also dimmed the header images for each club since they can be quite bright. If you hover over the club the image will brighten up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also dimmed the header images for each club since they can be quite bright. If you hover over the club the image will brighten up. Nice! Glad the text have backgrounds now, and I really like the club images brightening up when you hover over them, that should probably also be implemented in the light mode too if it isn't already. Just a nice little touch. With that said... OK, this is the nitpickiest of nitpicks, but I noticed that some letters in club titles appear to be slightly obscured by the dark background for whatever reason, and this isn't an issue in light mode. Lowercase gs in particular seem to have this problem: Again, super nitpicky, but I figured I should bring it to your attention regardless. Other than that, this is definitely a very very welcome change! Edited August 8, 2020 by ZeldaFreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Also, a couple other things I noticed about some of the options when making a post, which I forgot to check until just now. If you click on the font size option, the menu there has the default white background with black text. In addition, when you click on the option for adding colors to text, It also has the standard white background, white text. Same thing when you click on the More Colors option. AND I somehow only just now noticed this as well, but when you make an edit to a post (Like I'm doing now) it still has the default white bar at the top for the various options, in addition to all the stuff mentioned above. Sorry I'm givin' ya' so much to fix, I just keep forgetting to check a bunch of stuff. Edited August 8, 2020 by ZeldaFreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 This post was recognized by Gloves! ZeldaFreak was awarded the badge 'PARTICIPATE - Helping Hand' and 50 points. Aw shit... Jesus, I'm really sorry @Gloves, I just keep noticing stuff First of all, I noticed that, in addition to the default white bar still being there when you edit a post It's also still there when you compose a new message Secondly, I noticed that the text is very dim on the Search option on the top right of the site, might want to brighten that up. And right after I noticed that, I also noticed that the magnifying glass icon is slightly cut off as well I'm just gonna stop looking for stuff to complain about now, I feel really bad finding all these little problems scattered everywhere. You were right @Jeevan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, if you click on Activity > Search at the top of the site, on the bottom left is an option which I presume is for searching for content within a particular club, and it's definitely quite bright and out of place in the dark mode. That could use fixing. Secondly, I noticed if you go to Clubs > Any Club > Members and view that section, it definitely looks pretty hideous in dark mode. I think it might be better if it looked more like the Staff section That's about all I could find though. Everything else looked good as far as I could tell (Or if it didn't, it was just due to images having bright backgrounds and what have you, which isn't a problem with the dark mode itself.) Updated everything from this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone is set to dark mode but I can’t find where to adjust that on the forums here. That is one slight complaint I have about how you change the themes currently. It's way down at the bottom of the site, so a lot of people may not even realize that there is a dark mode at all. I wish that option was a little more obvious, maybe somewhere at the top of the site where all the other options are instead of way at the bottom. But I dunno, that may just be me.

The Count | 527 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've been using it for a few days now, just need to get used to it. So far, so good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,008 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've been using it since the day it was available and I'd rather deal with the issues than switch back to white. I have Autism so I'm sensitive to bright lights and the white background is too painful for me to use. I don't know if that helps you at all, I'm probably not your target audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,777 Administrator · Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I added back Dark Mode. It's not perfect, there are a number of new things that have been added that I need to now style, but it's dark and I hope that's enough. Apologies for blinding you all with the default (light) theme - Dark Mode had some serious issues initially which I have fixed. Feel free to let me know in here as before any issues you come across and I'll see that they're resolved. As a refresher, you can change to Dark Mode in the Footer of the site, at the bottom of every page: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
